Habakkuk 3:4 His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand,
And there His power was hidden.
My eyes fell upon this verse recently, I was awed that, it is in the rays that flashes from God’s hand that His power is hidden, that Hand which has is mighty in operation, and which has quite often manifested the divine power to Israel, to the world, in my life and yours. Let us examine what His Hand can do.
Exo 13:3 And Moses said to the people: “Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand The Lord brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten. We know how God sent ten plagues and destroyed the Pharaoh and his army, the most powerful dynasty and delivered the Israelites, set them free, that was His right hand which can do the same for us. Psalm 110:1The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
Our God assures us that we need to do nothing at all, we just need to sit by His right Hand and He will take care of our enemies, challenges and issues, He will make footstool out of it and it will be under our feet, where it belongs. There are benefits if we are seated at His right Hand, Psalm 16:11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right Hand. We will know the path of life, and not wander aimlessly, we will be filled with joy, for His continued presence will be with us and we will have eternal pleasures.
Proverbs 21:1The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes. It says even a king’s heart is in His hands, He can turn it in favor of us and that is no big deal for Him. Psalm98:1 O sing to the Lord a new song, For He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him. If you call upon Him, Jesus will do marvelous things in your life with His right Hand that, you will be victorious over the challenges that you face today and He will put a new song in your mouth. You can forget the old songs; you will have new testimonies.
Isaiah 62:3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the Hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem in the Hand of your God. In His Hand, God says we will be a crown of beauty, our life will be a crown of beauty, our family will be a crown of beauty, we just need to hand ourselves, our family, children, finances, job, ministry, home et al into the Hand of God and let Him take over.
His hand saves, protects, heals, restores, delivers, redeems, builds, provides and sustains and much more. So as the psalmist says let us look unto the Lord, His hand, until He shows mercy, which He will, since He is a merciful loving God.
Psalm 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us.
